If you have a square face, consider yourself lucky. Some of the most famous faces in the past and today have a strong, angular jawline. How do you know you have a square face? If you were to measure your head from top to bottom and side to side, it would measure about the same. The difference between a square face and a round face (which also measures the same across as long) lies in the angles. Square faces have strong, angular features, whereas a round face has soft features.

Here, we show you some best and worst haircuts for square faces, including this gorgeous cut on Megan Fox. Unlike women with long faces (sadly, me) who can't get away with long hair, women with square faces can.
